Can you use "signifier"?

"Alors ça veut dire que votre clignotant arrière gauche est cassé". Could you also say "Alors ça signifie que votre clignotant arrière gauche est cassé"? Google Translate seems to think so, but I'd be interested in your view.

Hi Charles,

Yes, you could use 'signifier' but you are more likely to say 'vouloir dire' in everyday conversation.
